Hi fellow selfhosters!
What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it’s an interesting story.
I’ll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox
Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That’s it.
I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.
All of mine are animals, chosen similar to their functions (ie my 2-in-1 is “weasel”, my Chimera VM buildhost is a busy/hard-working “beaver” (busy “bumblebee” was taken by my old Gentoo binhost VM), “orca” is my media server (big black PC case), “bluejay” is my rpi (tiny, in a blue TARDIS case), etc.
It’s fun! (I have too many computers.)
